Well, let’s see. . .
1. You still have time to pre-order signed copies of Carousel Sun from Uncle Hugo’s. Here’s the link. Uncle Hugo’s is the only bookstore offering autographed copies of Carousel Sun. They have autographed copies of some of our other work in stock, as well.
2. I supported Doug Thornsjo’s Kickstarter campaign, and just before Christmas, received my Majors deck of the Tarot of the Zirkus. These cards are amazing. Provocative art, good hand-feel and weight, slightly larger than my favorite deck, The Halloween Tarot. Take a look at the on-going project, and buy a deck for yourself, here.
3. Mozart continues to make gains. He’s eating wet cat food again, not just beef baby food, is sleeping well, and taking an interest in the various projects going on around him. Thanks to everyone for your good wishes.
4. There’s been some question about the release dates of upcoming publications. This is what we know:
January 7: Liaden Universe® Constellation, Volume 2, trade paper
January 15: “The Gift of Music,” free to read on Baen.com
February 4: Carousel Sun, trade paper
March 7: Necessity’s Child, mass market
Early 2015: Carousel Seas, trade paper
5. I wish to report that it is not snowing! It is, however, Pretty Darn Cold (for the purposes of this discussion, PDC is 3F/-16C).
So good to hear Mozart is doing better.
Dang it! I knew I forgot to do *something* before leaving work yesterday! Constellation, Vol. 2 landed New Year’s Eve and I shelved it in the new release section right next to Ancillary Justice. I meant to take a picture of the two of them sitting there, sharing shelf space! (I am at B&N-West Coast). I will admit I haven’t purchased my copy yet–but my reason is an excellent one. My store won the gift card contest in our “level” and the prize is a $200 gift card for each and every bookseller! I am making my list!
Seriously nice prize! Congrats!
It’s a relief. Fingers crossed that the improvement will continue.
So glad Mozart is doing better!!
Warmer here also 30 degrees right now but look out Tuesday high of 12 can’t wait
Stay warm, Sharon
Yay, Mozart!
Thanks for all the cool information and hope you warm up soon.
PS Another freebie on Baen? Drool….
I just read your and Steve Miller’s work for the first time ever via A Liaden Universe Constellation: Volume 1, a Christmas gift from my dear wife. I can’t tell you how excited I am that the second volume will be in my hands on Tuesday. I see much more Liaden adventures in 2014. Thanks for such wonderful work.
… I feel a disturbance in the Force. It was colder in PA than Maine?
These things happen. By way of Balance, last week a couple days it was colder in Maine than it was at the weather station on Mount Washington.
Wow, you started with the short stories? That’s. . .an unusual way in. Glad you liked them — and welcome!
A Liaden Universe Constellation: Volume 2 is already out in Colorado at the local B&N, picked it up last Thursday and I’m already halfway through it. Love it. Also, glad to hear that Mozart is doing better.
I am a big fan of short stories and generally feel that this is a good way to get a sample of an author’s work (or in this case two authors). I was most pleased. I’m stopping by my local BN tomorrow to pick up Trade Secret (really liked Jethri’s story) and hope the second volume is on the shelves already at my store like it was in Anya Maria’s.
